Amazon Prime: The Ride London to Beijing
Discussion
I'm enjoying it, I had a look at the company's website to check if there was a specific reason everyone was on BMWs the first time around, then I saw the cost of it... You never really think about it properly until someone puts a figure in front of you! £26k+fuel+food+flight home... And 3 months off work of course. Best start saving!
I'm torn as to whether I'd like to do it or not. I'd love to ride my bike to Japan, across South America, etc, but the sense of adventure for me comes from doing everything "yourself", discovering things as you go, etc. But at the same time, being part of an organised group, with some support available, is one hell of a safety blanket.
Last comment, there are a few doing it with pillions, I'm not sure I'd consider it, I have enough trouble green laning around here on my own!

Great I'll take a look.
One of my neighbours works for them as support rider and has done the london to beijing a few times so it will be interesting to see if he features in it.
He was due to do the Americas North to south (Alaska to Argentina I think) with them in April but the whole thing got cancelled due to covid.
He has something of a dream job with them, but not sure when they'll be back up and running though.
Must be devastating for businesses like this.
